Cryptorrhynclius lacteicollis (p. 650). 



This remarkable species, described from a single specimen from Toxpam, Mexico, 

 has been recorded from Palmerlee, Cochise Co., Arizona, by Mr. C. SchaefTer [Canad. 

 Entom. xxxviii. pp. 343, 344 (1906)], whose examples were obtained by " beating 

 mistletoe growing en walnut."

I have now seen a long series of this species (described from an imperfe 

 including both sexes, from the original locality, Chiriqui. The female has th 

 gulose, squamulose pygidium ( 



sixth ventral segment) shorter and more transverse 

 than in the male, and the large fovea on the fifth segment obsolete. The first ventral 





segment is unimpressed in both 









Cratosomus pulverulentus 



. 



Additional examples of this species, from the same collection and locality, have 

 been sent me by Herr A. Bang-Haas. The female has a much shorter pygidium 



than the male, the 



first ventral segment shallower, and the g 





the fifth reduced to a shallow oblong fo 



The swollen, subdentiform 



pices of the elytra are slightly dehiscent at the sutural angle

Cratosomus insolitus, Faust, in litt. 



Very like G. pulverulentus— and when fresh in great part covered above (except on the raised or tuberculate 

 portions of the elytral surface) with a crimson (or ferruginous) and pale yellow mealy secretion,— but 

 differing as follows :— The head deeply silicate (not carinate) between the eyes, the longitudinal groove 

 on the vertex almost obsolete ; the eyes less approximate ; the prothorax more densely punctate, with 

 minute scattered granules and a faint median carina ; the elytra with a smooth rounded tubercle 

 exterior to the very large one near the suture below the base, the prominence below the angularly 

 projecting humeri wanting, the seriate punctures larger and more irregular, the apices produced, not 

 swollen, and conjointly rounded. First ventral segment broadly excavate down the middle in both 

 sexes the fifth with a large transverse fovea in the 6 and a shallow longitudinal groove in the $ ; 

 " pygidium (= sixth ventral segment) very short in the $ , much longer in the 6 , densely rugulose and

 we are indebted to Dr. Staudinger's successor, Herr A. Bang-Haas
